Experience World Heritage Beech Forests

Experience beech forests - all year round

UNESCO World Heritage Tours

Beech forests have their own charm in every season: in spring, when everything sprouts, in summer under the cool canopy of leaves, in colorful autumn, when the copper beech lives up to its name, and in winter, when sunlight illuminates the forest floor.

Our rangers know the most beautiful tours. Choose from our calendar of events or book your individual tour through the World Heritage Beech Forests in the Kalkalpen National Park.
